Learn to love you some movie slideshows

Don't miss Slate's "unusually moronic movie trivia slide show." Aren't they all moronic? (Click the pic to view the slides)


While Slate thinks that these slide shows typically discourage pre-movie conversation, I have to disagree. What's wrong with a little mindless jokeateering at the expense of the poor souls who actually write and compile these slides?

Either way, it hardly matters. At best we're a year or two (maybe even months) away from watching continuous live-action commercials before every flick. Moviegoers are so well-qualified (teens go to see "Not Another Teen Movie," couples to the latest Aniston / Vaughn vehicle, etc) anymore that pre-movie space is worth mega-bucks, especially on a natoinal scale. With theatre conglomerates growing ever-large, it's only a matter of time. Enjoy the crappy slideshows while you can.
